RESCUE SEAMEN j
LASHED 10 HATCH
New York, Jan. 17.?Without food
nd water for two days and during
hat time lasKted to the cabin hatch of
heir waterlogged craft to prevent
hem from being washed overboard
y mountainous seas, Capt. V. M.
'ole and seven members of the crew
f the American schooner, James M.
[all, arrived here today on the
teamship West Canon, which rescued
hem 250 miles southeast of Cape
lay, N. J.
Virtually abandoning hope of ever
eing picked up alive, the shipwreck
d crew^ used its remaining dry match
riday* night to set fire to a dish pan
f gasoline in a last desperate attempt
> make known its plight. The result
nt flare was seen from the Westj
lanon bound here from Java, which
nmediately headed for it and took
ff the mien, who were suffering from
old and hunger.
The schooner, which left Charles
>n, S. C., for Bostbn,, January 5,
ith a cargo of lumber, was aban
oned. She registered 491 tcyis 'and
'as owned in Boston.
Captain Cole said he encountered
eavy gales and rough seas soon after
aving Charleston. They increased in
orce and became so violent that the
essel sprung a leak and began to fill
rith water. All hands were put to
rork at the pumps, but they could
lake little headway because of the
errific pounding to which the craft
ras subjected. Finally conditions be
ame so bad that the cap'tain ordered
11 men to lash themselves to the
atch of the cabin, which was the
nly part of the deck structure to re
lain above the surface. Except forj
irief intervals When a man would
isk the fury of the* seas to send up
listress signals, they remained that

CROP INSURANCE
TO SET EMPHASIS
Washington, Jan. 17?Insurance of
crops as a method of stabilizing
prices of farm products is expected
to be one of many suggestions put
forward at the National Agriculture
conference which opens here Janu
ary 23 for inclusion in a jftAnanent
tariff policy. Discussion within the
conference is expected to develop
whether the proponents would rec
ommend that the insurance be car
ried by the farmers cooperatively, by
private companies, or through gov
ernment aid.
Hail insurance has already been
tried by tobacco growers and storm
nsurance is in force in some sections
of the West, but for the first time
experts expect to see the question
presented for an insurance against
all crop risks.
Crop insurance has been tested to
a certain extent, it was declared, both
by mutual farmers' companies and
by private insurance companies, and
agricultural experts declare it has
proven successful.
Balancing production with con-4
gumption is another topic which the
onference leaders expect to see come
up. The relations of the supply of
?srops and food stuffs to markets has
long been studied and suggestions
which are likely to'come from con
ference delegates, it was said, range
all the way from the old acreage lim
tation to a more careful study of
world production and consumption.
Along with this would 'go crop sur
veys in America which would enable
the producers, in the opinions of ag
ricultural leaders, in advance of crop
planting, to guage the consumption
demand. *
The importance of developing sta
tistical information was pointed out
by delegates in discussing this sud
ject. They said that for a number of
years, figures on production * have
.been fairly complete but similar data
on consumption have been shy.
